Building a custom home is all about great collaboration and teamwork!

A custom home is not prepackaged, where you choose from model home A, B, or C, with set pricing and upgrades offerred at every step. This type of home building is what you would find in a tract home community where the homes all have the same prepackaged design features, inside and outside.

When you build a custom home with us, you get to determine everything about your home. This is what makes your dream home a custom home. You are not limited to what's offered in a package.

• We manage the building of your home for you on your land or lot and guide you through the process.
• If you don't have your land or lot, we can help you find it.
• We consult with you to understand what you want and need in your dream home.
• We get an understanding of your budget and help you determine how you will get the most home for your budget.
• You choose the amenities you want in your home that are within your overall budget.  We provide access to our sources and design centers.

The more you share with us, the better we can help you make that dream home come true. We ask the questions and help make the process easy by guiding you through each step.

What to bring with you to your consultation:

• We recommend that you bring pictures, drawings, plans, or any other information about your land if you already have it.
• We find that creating a Pinterist Board to collect your ideas on exterior and interior features and amenities makes for a great way to collaborate.

Good planning and investigation can save you money on lot preparation when you decide to build on your lot or land.  

• Meet with your builder first.  Your builder can save you time and money on things to consider before you buy a lot or piece of land.  Sometimes a "good deal" on a piece of land or lot is in fact "too good to be true."
• A good builder will want to meet with you to see your land or lot early on in the process. They will make recommendations and start to determine the amount of lot preparation that may be needed.
• Put your financing and overall budget in place.  
• Make sure you thouroughly understand any building restrictions.
• Unless you have a large piece of land, have your house plans and specificatons drawn up before you buy your lot, and buy the lot to fit your home.  Many people don't realize the home of their dreams will not fit on their lot and end up having to redraw plans with a smaller home or sell the lot and start over.
• Understand the elevation grade of your lot.  "Shooting the Grade" will help determine how much preparation needs to be done as it relates to the building pad, driveway, landscaping and proper water drainage.  Remember that more preparation equals more money out of your budget before you begin building.  
• Although hills, trees, rocks and long driveways are beautiful lot features, they can do a number on your budget.  Ask your builder about ways to create balance between your budget and lot preferences.  
• Water!  When drilling wells, not all land has good or ample water supply, it's good to check before you buy.
